Total Distance

This was a small local race that was close to home with a carnival for the kids so it was hard to pass up. It was myself and a high school kid together in the lead for the first mile in 5:34 and then he fell off after that. I was able to pick it up the second mile and ran 5:28. The third mile was tough but I was able to hold it together ok and ran 5:32. The last .1was 29 seconds. I'm pretty happy with the time. I just started getting back into the workouts so this shows that I'm improving pretty quickly. The course was flat and pretty fast with the exception of a few hairpin turns. My wife won the women's race and the kids had a great time so it was a good morning.
